American Family Association: Deport All Muslims

The American Family Association's Director of Issues
Analysis, the
detestable Bryan Fischer, has penned another one of his intolerable policy
recommendations. Fischer suggests that
the US
deport all Muslims. If we fail in our
efforts, he writes, "it may soon be too late to save what is left of American
culture."

First, the most compassionate thing we
can do for Americans is to bring a halt to the immigration of Muslims into the U.S. This will
protect our national security and preserve our national identity, culture,
ideals and values. Muslims, by custom and religion, are simply unwilling to
integrate into cultures with Western values and it is folly to pretend
otherwise. In fact, they remain dedicated to subjecting all of America to
sharia law and are working ceaselessly until that day of Islamic imposition
comes.

The most compassionate thing we can do for Muslims who have already immigrated
here is to help repatriate them back to Muslim countries, where they can live
in a culture which shares their values, a place where they can once again be at
home, surrounded by people who cherish their deeply held ideals. Why force them
to chafe against the freedom, liberty and civil rights we cherish in the West?

In other words, simple Judeo-Christian compassion
dictates a restriction and repatriation policy with regard to Muslim
immigration into the U.S.

The disclaimer at the top of the piece states that "the
American Family Association has not taken a position on this issue," which is
peculiar in at least two ways.

First,
Fischer is not some random blogger who's writing out of his grandmother's
basement. He is employed by the AFA,
speaks for the group at conferences and is in the group's daily programming
schedule. What he writes on the AFA's website is by definition, from the
AFA.

Second, while it's clear that the
AFA is trying to distance itself from one of its more extreme spokesmen, it
speaks very negatively that the American Family Association has not "taken a
position" on whether we should deport people on the basis of their religious identity.
